In this episode of Unshakeable Talks Katy shares her story - arriving in England with a tiny baby and no English, stumbling through early motherhood, and then stepping into entrepreneurship from sheer gut and determination. She tells all about what it really took: figuring things out, making mistakes, feeling lonely, and pushing through when it all felt too much. This is an invitation for you to see how messy it gets, and how you can keep going when your dreams demand everything of you.

Key Takeaways: 

Start before everything feels perfect.

Waiting for perfect timing is a trap. The growth happens when you leap into the unknown. Action births confidence, not the other way around.

Your history is your foundation.

Growing up where work, responsibility, and grit were the norm shaped a resilience most people don’t see. Use what you’ve learned, even the hard parts, to fuel what’s ahead.

Never compromise your values for convenience.

When a business stops aligning with your values, it’s okay to re-write the blueprint. Your peace and purpose matter more than fitting someone else’s mold.

Pivots aren’t failures - they’re redirection.

When doors close, that’s often life nudging you toward a higher calling. Trust the detours; sometimes they lead to exactly where you were meant to go.

You’re not meant to do this solo.

The loneliness of entrepreneurship is real, especially for women wearing all the hats. The Unshakable Talks podcast began to build a space where we can be honest, share, support one another, and find strength together.
